The next line of the egg against the stone hiatus is Self-indulgence.

"Eggs touching stones - not measuring their own strength" is a hysterical saying. Each object can withstand a certain pressure, more than this limit, the object may be damaged. The egg can withstand less pressure, so the egg will break. This hiatus is to warn people not to do things that are not self-consciously strong.

Chinese idioms describing the egg touching the stone without self-importance:

1. Self-importance

Interpretation: one doesn't estimate one's own ability; refers to overestimating one's own strength.

Origin: Li Ruzhen, "The Mirror's Edge of Flowers", 87th time: "Let's say that we are all lucky to be ranked on the top in the Temple Examination, and we are not really talented, so why would we dare to talk about the text without measuring our own strength."

2. Striking a stone with an egg

Explanation: To take an egg to touch a stone is a metaphor for not estimating one's own strength and taking one's own life.

Origin: Xunzi - Discussion of Warfare: "The analogy is like throwing an egg against a stone."

Fable

One day, the little egg blew to everyone again: "When I was 2 years old, I defeated the fierce eagle; when I was 5 years old, I defeated the dreadful poisonous snake; when I was 8 years old, I was even more powerful, and even the diamond, which claimed to be the king of defenses, was also cracked by my gentle impact. the pulverized bones!"

Listening to the little egg's experience, everyone unanimously cast envious glances at him. At this time, the stone little sister really could not listen to it, stood out, said to the little egg disdainfully, "Egg brother, the diamond is our old ancestor, hard and unbeatable, just by you? In your next life!"

The little egg heard the fire, and thought to himself, "You little girl, how dare you look down on me like this, I see when I do not beat you to pieces!" So he said: "You little girl, you dare to duel with me, see me then not to beat your ass! Little Miss Stone said, "Good! Who's afraid, I accept!"

So on the next day, the imposing little egg came to the stone little sister's house, and duel with it. Stone little sister saw the little egg's formation, not nervous at all. It just stood there unhurriedly and said to the little egg with a smile, "Big brother egg, come on! I accept your challenge!" The little egg looked at the stone little sister this kind of look, angry two eyes burst, a clenched teeth, a head towards the stone little sister! The result was that the little egg's head was broken and bleeding, but the little stone sister was intact.

From then on, the egg no longer dare to arrogance, there is, we now know this "egg against the stone - do not know the amount of force" of the hysteria.
